My understanding is that the thinner tires will actually have better traction because all things being equal they will conform over obstacles better than wider tires.

If you need/want the added floatation or protection then get the wider tires.

Just a thought to consider. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
